Does the first press turn the steady laser on? I read somewhere that it's the 2nd press. Also, how long is the press to turn the steady laser on?

The first press of the button turns on the laser, and you don't have to press the button for more than a moment to turn it on. After about three minutes of being on, the laser starts to pulse to remind you, and it just takes another momentary press to steady the laser for another three minutes.

geddyfan, the first press turns the laser on steady. The second press produces a pulsing laser. As soom as you press the button its on... there is no delay. If you're having a problem contact Laserlyte. If there's a problem I'm sure they'll make good. Hope this helps....

The first quick press should activate the system; this is so that under duress or stress, the laser can be quickly employed. It is called "press and go" activation by the manufacturer.

Hi, my setup just has a push button switch on the tail/end cap. I cannot recall whether or not there was a pressure pad switch option in the box. The way the push button switch works is one push turns on the laser, the laser stays turned on, then another push turns the laser off. It works pretty good. I know this is not some expensive laser sight but for the money I find it to be very good. As I may have mentioned in my review, at night, wow, that laser is visible at quite a distance, easily 100 yards.

The problem I had with this laser was not the ease of turning it on/off, it was that sometimes it would not turn on at all and while shooting it would sometimes turn off on it's on. To answer your question though it was easy to turn on or off when it did work.

Mine came with a Pressure Switch and an End Cap. If you use the End Cap you just turn it until the Laser comes on and unscrew it until the Laser goes off. There is no push button on it. I prefer using the Pressure Switch which is very easy to turn on and off.

The laser has a screw on pressure swith at the end cap. If the pressure switch is screwed on all the way it will make the laser beam stay on continiously but it is extremely easy to make the laser beam go "ON or OFF" by a simple small twist of the end cap.I personally like this arrangement much better than an On-Off Switch which nornally makes that "Click" noise when operated, also reduces the chances of misalligning the laser because you are not applying any pressure at laser end.This is a good, bright laser, easily seen during the daytime if shined against a dark background.I personally do not use the extension pressure switch.

There is a small button on the left side of the laser. Because it fits flush on the side of the laser (I imagine to prevent accidental shutoff when making contact with the holster), it does require a deliberate press to turn on/off. I have arthritis in my hands and I do not have any difficulty activating the button. However I would not want to do that in a defensive situation.

Look on the side of the laser. There is a small vertical handle with lines on it. Push it in slightly and turn it counter-clockwise. Needle nose pliers helps.

Aloha to you Al Sayer,Is there a laser guide ? NO laser on this model.As far as an aftermarket laser. I really do not know the answer to that, but there are increasingly more products on the market.One thing I would like to tell you is that this model has a very high drill head and a lot of distance before you bottom out the table.Which is a good thing if you are tall, or have tall projects to work on. I hope that this helps you in some way.God Bless you and all those that you love.Kaboonshi

DO NOT buy this product! Protect your investment, spend the extra money and buy a Crimson Trace grip laser instead. My serious complaint with this LaserMax product is the ON/OFF switch. It is not spring loaded. Simply, it slides from left to right. With the slightest pressure while carrying holstered, the laser is activated. After a short time, your battery is dead and you are left without having a laser to use. What is the point of buying a laser if the battery goes dead on you? Re-think this investment; I bought a LaserMax and will never purchase their products again after using a CrimsonTrace on my other LCR -- I own three LCR's. -- in my opinion DO NOT buy this product!

The laser light remains on after each trigger pull on my Ruger SR9C. The only way I have found to reset is to cock the slide. It doesn't work with the laserlyte target because since the laser stays on it records multiple strikes. I still find it useful on dry fire practice with a paper target.

hey it projects a solid line with the spinning laser. im not an expert on laser levels but I really do like this one. I bought a tripod to go with it.im a cabinet maker and im working in an old old very settled house. it was great for marking lines around the room to take measurements from. I am happy with it.

I'm sorry, I don't know what class the laser is. It has a motion sensor so it's not on all the time. As a matter of fact, it goes off pretty quickly. I hope that helps.

It is a little difficult to adjust. I've had this problem with other brands and models. The two screws only control (or hold) 2 sides of each axis of the laser diode. The other 2 sides are controlled by springs pressing against the diode. You have to adjust each screw at the same time to get it on target. I adjusted mine to where it is dead on. So it can be done with a little time and patience. It took me 10 minutes at the most to zero mine in. And as every other model, after so many shots fired ( 50+ ) it needs to be readjusted. You can improve this by using Loc-Tite on the threads to prevent the screws from backing out ( or loosening). Using this product will make it a little more difficult to turn the adjustment tool. This only means the product is doing its job. A little extra: using a bore sight laser ( one that is the same shape has the ammo you are using and will chamber like a live round) will help a lot to sight in your new laser sight. The bore laser is zeroed in at the factory with special machines that ensure its dead center with the barrel and won't offset.

i've had mine for about a year and so far so good. No it won't activate the laser. The holster is a paddle style and is a little big for the front pocket, unless you have big front pockets........

you can have either light laser or light and laser. you select for which of those you want on the body of the unit. once you have selected whatever it is that you wish to use then the pressure switch activates that function. you cannot switch between modes with the pressure switch

Yes, laser activation switch works from either side of weapon (center is off - button pushes both left and right).

The self-level still works...the lock function keeps the laser on while you manually turn the entire unit to get the angle you want. When the lock is not on, the laser will go off when the unit is tilted too far.
